Farmers and landowners must be fully engaged with discussions on Green Infrastructure as they own and manage many of the districts key Green Infrastructure assets.
Previous studies have shown that agricultural businesses routinely invest in landscape management and enhancement works for example hedging, tree planting, cutting and grazing. For many farmers the landscape management and biodiversity enhancements on their farms are a source of great pride and it does them a disservice to not have this aspect of land management recognised by this document. Farmers who do not (for a variety of reasons) participate in agri-environment schemes also make valid contributions. The work of the Campaign for the Farmed Environment (www.cfeonline.org.uk) has shown that these farms use a range of voluntary techniques to enhance the options and that this management is funded by farm businesses.
